Refsnyder sent down

Well it seems that 4 games and 12 at bats into it,
Brian Cashman and the Yankee brass has had about all they could stomach. Robert
Refsnyder should consider himself lucky for being called up in the first place
as he does not even posses the pre-requisites for being a Yankee regular. He is
not on the wrong side of 30, he does not reek of bengay and he's not overpaid.

There was shock everywhere from Michael Kay to Jack Curry over this decision as
no one could seem to find merit in the demotion. Not a good look when even your
own people can't seem to find a way of defusing the explosion of frustration
fluttering the Yankee Universe. I even heard Yankee beat writers saying they
would have released Brendan Ryan instead. How does anyone even find logic in
the fact that in his last rehab start Brendan Ryan looked terrible yet they
chose him over Refsnyder? I find no words to defend this move.

In regards to the move Cashman said that he didn't want to release any players
yet as he wanted to keep his options open through the trade deadline. Yes folks
he is looking for that one team that is willing to take on Drew and Ryan in
exchange for a bag full of used toilet paper. Such a great visionary is that
Cashman. Do you remember back when they didn't think Austin Jackson was major
league ready? They traded him to Detroit in 2010 where he ranked 2nd in the
league with 10 triples and in 2011 and 2012 he led the league with 11 and 10
triples respectively. He made the best out of a solid opportunity that didn't
last 12 at bats.

I say let's end all this malarkey and just trade
Refsnyder. If the Yankees are not going to give him the opportunity then send
him to a team that will. Plus when he finally reaches his forties and has
passed his prime, the Yankees will finally be ready to offer him a 2 year deal
worth 80 million dollars and a no trade clause. We just want to see him play
and do well. He has an amazing story that we all want to latch on to and cheer
for. Unfortunately due to his lack of faith, Brian Cashman has taken away the
potential for a happy ending to the story still being written.

Opening
day is quickly approaching and the excitement surrounding the Yankees heading
into 2018 is at an all-time high. With the addition of Giancarlo Stanton to
what was already a powerhouse of a lineup, the Yankees are once again a World
Series or bust club. Expectations that George Steinbrenner lived by year in and
year out when he was as at the helm. The Yankees are obviously no stranger to
these expectations. They are well deserved considering it’s hard to imagine the
Yankees not making the postseason in 2018 with the product they will put on the
field. Here are five bold predictions that could be the difference between the
Yankees being a solid contending team or being far and away the best team in
baseball.

With
spring training games just eleven days away, opening day of the regular season will
be here in the blink of an eye. When camp starts, there will be approximately sixty
players vying for 25 spots on the Yankees major league roster. While some of
them are extreme longshots and others are merely prospects garnering some experience,
there will be a plethora of competition in Yankees camp this spring. Despite the
roster not lacking superstars and veterans, there are holes in the roster that
need to be filled. In this article, I will predict who will be in the dugout on
opening day alongside Aaron Boone and his new coaching staff.

With spring training set to begin, the Yankees have
openings at 2B and the hot corner. Speculation is high that two of
the organization’s most highly regarded prospects are going to win those jobs.
This article isn't about the second base opening; it’s about Miguel Andujar and
why he should be the starting third baseman when Opening Day arrives.

The Bronx Bomber Ball team is gearing up for the 2018 season by reviewing all the players on the 40-man roster. Here we look at where the player stands and what the 2018 season could mean for them. The first installment of the 2018 BBB Pinstripe Preview is former New York top prospect, Clint Jackson Frazier.

Along
with being Yankee enthusiasts, the staff here at the BBB is comprised of avid
baseball fans across the entirety of the sport. With that being said, we
decided to complete a mock Hall of Fame voting using the 2018 candidates.
Similar to the official voting, our ballots could only comprise of up to ten
candidates, but choosing less than ten candidates was surely an option. Any
player with a mark above 75% would be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame,
if the voting rested in our hands. Here are the results of the sixteen ballots casted:

It's been a very slow going off-season Yankee fans the hot stove is more like the cold stove. Yesterday Ben Badler (Baseball America) broke the news that the New York Yankees are one of three teams (Texas and Miami) considered to be the favorites to sign top Cuban prospect outfielder Julio Pablo Martinez who's said to be 21-years-old.

In
today’s installment of the Bronx Bomber Ball 2018 Pinstripe Previews, we will
be looking at rookie infielder Tyler Wade. Wade was brought up last season
after an injury landed Starlin Castro on the disabled list for a large portion
of the summer. After a subpar first impression in the majors, Wade will go into
spring training fighting for a spot in the Yankees' open infield.

As part of the BBB’s ongoing lead-up to the 2018 Major League Baseball season we are previewing each member of the Yankees’ 40-man roster. Today’s preview features a new Yankee who has not yet donned the pinstripes, that being 28-year-old outfielder Jabari Blash.

2017 Review:Acquired from San Diego in the December trade that sent third baseman Chase Headley and RHP Bryan Mitchell to the Padres, Blash is another imposing outfield specimen in the New York outfield that already includes monstrous sluggers Aaron Judge and 2017 National League Most Valuable Player Giancarlo Stanton. Blash comes in at 6’5”, 235 pounds.

Blash appeared in 61 games for the Padres in 2017 and produced a slash line of .213/.333/.341 with five home runs and 16 runs batted in over 164 at-bats. Certainly nothing mind-blowing, and nothing that indicates he’ll be a major factor for the Yankees next season, but he has raw ability and a huge frame that resembles an Aaron Hicks-Aaron Judge hybrid.

This
week five years ago, a Yankees legend made the decision to bid farewell to the
game he loved after a remarkable career.
On January 24th, 2012, longtime Yankees catcher Jorge Posada
announced at a press conference that he had played his final game in
pinstripes. Posada had given his heart and soul to the game, but the aging
catcher simply had nothing left in the tank. For Yankees fans everywhere, this
was a somber day. Posada’s retirement
effectively made Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera the last active members of the ‘Core
Four’ that had brought five World Series championships to the Bronx.
